I understand. There’s certain specialties that old time stores provide that department stores will never get!
When you go into an Italian deli, you know you will get authentic.
It’s gonna be the Italian bread, made fresh, it’s gonna be the fresh mozzarella, or the toppings to your best pasta dishes.
Also, most Italian delis will offer fresh cookies, and lemon sodas, freshly made on demand.
I live in Western New York and I always go to the Italian delis .. ❤❤
ITALIANS MUST MARRY ITALIANS TO KEEP the TRADITIONS and CULTURE ALIVE and THRIVING.
I love being Italian.
